"Put A Good One Down" lyrics

I've had me a good dog since I was a kid
Just like my papa and my daddy did
I got taller
They got old and gray
And it broke my heart just to see 'em that way

'Cause I love them dogs more than I like most folks
If ya ever had a good'un brother then ya already know
When ya diggin' that shovel down in the cold hard ground
It hits a little different when ya gotta put a good one down

Naw it ain't ever easy when ya say goodbye
To somethin' that's loved you it's whole life
There's a certain kind of sadness? That just can't be said
When your down in a hole with a gun to his head

Oh I love my dogs more than I like most folks
If ya ever had a good'un brother then ya already know
And when ya diggin' that shovel down in the cold hard ground
It hits a little different when ya gotta put a good one down

Make a grown man cry
Shed an honest tear
We don't deserve the time we get with them here
Oh it hits a little different when ya gotta put a good one down

I've had me a good dog since I was a kid
Just like my papa and my daddy did
